A progress update.
Managed to remove timing cover.
Struggling to line up dots on cam sprockets as per diagram.
Really appreciate some guidence here.
In the attached pic I believe on the compression stroke with crank drift upwards, the red arrows display dots on can sprockets, yellow highlight is painted arrow.

Put the engine to TDC and align the marks then. TDC is the only position where the marks make sense.
If they are out by half a tooth or so the timing chain is worn and needs replacement.
